Skippers will want to make up their grab bags in their own way, we offer this as
a suggestion only. One of the biggest reasons that we all sail is that we can be
self reliant, retake responsibility for our own lives and not have someone tell us
what we can or cannot do. We hope the below list is informative.

(removed and then replaced immediately when needed).
